Where does this song fit in with their ballady songs. Testament is so good at this with Return to Serenity being the best imo.

It's good, but I still like The Legacy and The Ballad better.

Nothing beats Return To Serinity IMO but The Legacy and Trail Of Tears are close. The new one I'd put third.

I like everything Testament has done. Though of the ballads that ranks last for me. My order is:

Return To Serinity
The Legacy
Trail Of Tears
Cold Embrace
The Ritual
The Ballad

TESTAMENT's best ballad is "Musical Death". One of the best metal solos ever.

Love the solo in "Trail of Tears" too. That one is really effective.

They do ballads right, they're interesting and have good lead breaks and aren't sappy.

I thought it was an instrumental?

I would think an instrumental could still be a ballad.

Most definitely.

I'm going with Return to Serenity as well, but Cold Embrace is amazing.

I enjoy Cold Embrace more than the Ballad. Hard to compare this to Return to Serenity, since I've heard that one so many times, and I'm still getting used to Cold Embrace.

This calls for a poll. Personally, I think I like Return to Serenity the best. Then, the Legacy. Cold Embrace could be #3.

So poll it up.

I'm prolly gonna get knocked for saying this, but Cold Embrace does NOTHING for me. Personally, I think it really throws the flow of the album off. I don't think it's a BAD song, per se, just an average one at best.

Agreed. It's easily their worst ballad ever.

I also agree.
